I have been able to get into $50 6-Max tables pretty consistently.

I am not at all great, in fact I may suck at PLO, but the players there make me seem good. I was running like God for a while there. Lately I am getting it in just as good but being drawn out on. Variance (and that "no really, I do suck at this game" thing too, probably.)

I have signed up / deposited on Stars & MGM.

I signed up on WSOP over the weekend. Uploaded requested DL. They are now asking for signed Social Security card along w/ utility bill w/ banking info. I get the latter, but the former has me scratching my head? Neither of the other two sites requested this. Anyone else been asked for their social?

I work in the online casino industry. I cannot vouch for why they are asking for docs. I do know that the casinos I work for (none have very robust poker products) never ask for social security cards though if we cannot verify your social security number, we may ask for a W-9 Form to verify it. Utility Bill is just to verify address.

As for baking info, we only ask for that if you want to withdraw or if you have a certain amount of lifetime deposits we would want to get a bank statement on file. One of the casinos I work with will ask people with very large deposits to show a bank statement to verify their source of wealth (i.e. making sure you make enough money to deposit in the large amounts you are depositing).

If they want this information right off the bat and you successfully opened your account (so they are not asking for your docs to get the account opened) whatever deposits you made - the amount or the methods or a lot of rejected deposits - may have triggered them to ask for docs. Maybe there's something strange about the device(s) you are using or the location of your gameplay. But that's not standard for the casinos I work for.

Of course they are free to ask for whatever they want - their Terms of Service state that they may ask for documents to verify identity and financial accounts.

You're free to ask them why they need them; they may tell you, they may not.

You're also free to tell them you do not want to provide certain documents.

Of course that means they are free to close your account.

Let us know how it goes!

So the WSOP schedule is out. Someone mentioned in the NVG thread that PA will be included with NJ and NV in the bracelet events? I haven't heard any news about merged pools so I'm a bit skeptical.

One last thing. Has anyone done the 1k deposit bonus? I'm wondering how many days they give you to clear and if it's possible playing 200nl+

PA will be separate from NJ/NV events AFAIK. Especially since there is no news of merged pools.

Read this on Cardplayer's website in their article about the 2022 WSOP schedule, so it does seem they have plans of combining all 3 states for some online tournaments:

"There will be online offerings for the shared player pools of New Jersey and Nevada, events only for online players in Pennsylvania, and events that combine all three states."

Interesting. Really hope that is a sign of merged pools on the horizon.

I wouldn't hold your breath. No mention of Michigan in there either.

I only noticed cuz I live in MI and work in the online poker space. From what I understand Michigan hasn't even begun discussing the possibility of interstate poker, but lord knows we need it because the 2 site's traffic is currently very bad.

I'm with you on that. Games are pretty reg infested. I wonder if that will change for the better with the merge.

Don't think it was this way when I first got the client. Maybe started 2 or 3 days in? Not sure. Have had it at least for a couple weeks.

Anyone else with this issue or have other ideas? Didn't find much in my google search about it.
Did you ever resolve this? I don't see any replies, but the same thing is happening to me. I can pull tables to an external monitor but the "loading" icon still never goes away!

Did WSOP officially repeal their decision to ban PT4 running in the background? A few months back they started booting you from the site for even having PT4 running on other sites (even though PT4 was never compatible on WSOP anyway). but recently I've been able to play on WSOP with PT4 running for PS/etc.

Have others been running PT4 without any problems? Wasn't sure if WSOP officially revised their PT4 ban or if it's just a tech loophole currently allowing it to run.

So I checked my computer when the WSOP application is running on my pc. It doesn't seem to eat up that much memory or processor power but the site lags 10000% worse than Pokerstars even when just using 3 tables. Maybe their software is just utter crap, but I guess nobody else is having issues. It gets especially bad when I try to open up hand history windows. I don't have any other software running so I guess it might be just my PC.

Hi PA guys -

With WSOP opening in Michigan next week, I know HUDS aren't allowed, but is there a way to get your HH's to import into H2N / PT4 / HEM3?

On a positive note that is one less Michigan site I need to install and deposit to for HM3 testing

I'm playing in MI that just launched yesterday and am having the same problem? Did you get this this resolved? WSOP says it's not an issue on their end that they know of, but I'm skeptical of their response. They said to check my audio settings.

Anyone try to play on a Mac mini? I can’t seem to get sound on wsop for some reason. Anyone have any idea why possibly?

Excuse my ignorance here, but why would you be playing on a site where I can't get HH into something like HEM or PT? When there are other options in the state where you can? Maybe I'm missing something, I understand if you want to win an online WSOP ring, but as for cash games, I'm not sure I see any appeal there. I play in PA and on Pokerstars and see no reason to play cash games on WSOP. Again, maybe I'm missing something.

I totally agree, I think the software was better for paradise poker back in the early 2000's than WSOP's is currently. I basically play 98 percent on pa stars.

Anyone recently received a payout from these guys? If so, what is the timeframe looking like and what method (ACH, etc.) did you use for your withdrawal?

I just read through this thread and noticed the ridiculous delays that some had experienced. This is obviously a bit concerning, and I am wondering if I should select the Cash at Cage option and drive down to Chester. ItÂ’s not *that* far but it would be swell if I could avoid going to that dumpster fire of a city altogether.

Other online gambling establishments in Pennsylvania have been able to quickly process withdrawals (a few minutes to a few hours). BetMGM, PokerStars, Fanduel, DraftKings, BetRivers, Caesars to name a few I have personal experience with.

These guys wonÂ’t survive if they donÂ’t address this issue. Several days is just unacceptable in 2022, especially in this somewhat saturated market.
